To get a seat for MBBS at AIIMS Delhi, candidates from the general category must aim to score 710+ in NEET UG to be on the safer side for admission. Students from the general category must aim to have an All-India rank within the top 50 to have a sure chance for admission. For reserved categories such as EWS and OBC, candidates must aim to score above 690+ for admission to MBBS at AIIMS Delhi.

What are the advantages of doing an MBBS from AIIMS over other medical colleges?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 30th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Rather than looking for the perks of doing an MBBS from AIIMS, you should be asking what would you be losing if you are unable to make it into AIIMS and if that loss is worth worrying about. In a medical college, most of your UG time goes into exams and studies and you are left with no time to analyze where your interest lies - Medicine or no medicine / USMLE or AIPG 

  • AIIMS offers top-notch education and training to its students, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. This can help students develop the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful doctors.
  • AIIMS has state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, which can enhance the learning experience for students. This includes modern laboratories, research facilities, and advanced medical technology.
  • AIIMS has a strong reputation both nationally and internationally, which can be beneficial for students when it comes to securing jobs or pursuing further education.
  • AIIMS has a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty, which can provide a supportive and enriching environment for learning and personal growth.

AIIMS does not have campus selections and all doctors are paid equally in the beginning whether you belong to an AIIMS or not. The medical field does not value brand names but it's our personal efforts that actually matter.

SS

Masters from Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research,Pondicherry (2018)

The life of an MBBS student at JIPMER is quiet and tiring. Yet, they get to learn and experience new things every day. Their daily schedule looks like this 

  • 8 am to 11 am: Lectures
  • 11 am to 1 pm: Anatomy dissection hours
  • 1 pm to 2 pm: Lunch break
  • 2 pm to 4:30 pm: Practicals

In the evening some prefer playing basketball, football, hockey, table tennis, and badminton while others order just napping or hitting the gym. Some music lovers go to the band room to play out various symphonies and musicals. A few artist students spend their time participating or practicing for fine arts competitions.

September brings in a huge crowd of students from different colleges attending Spandan. It’s a 7 day intercollegiate cultural literary and sports extravaganza that makes the monotonous life of JIPMER students a bit vibrant.

October witnesses the Jipmer premier league ied teams of girls and boys. There is also Curie Day which is the annual girls' hostel day celebration. The hostel is open for boys as well and girls perform dance and sing. After all this enjoyment, the exams begin and students are reminded of their primary goal. 

January is usually spent at home. In February, students go to Pune for the fest at AFMC -‘Silhouettes’. March brings in the tension of the annual university examinations and everybody can be seen surrounded by books. The seniors organize a wonderful Holi celebration- a cultural night followed by gulaal in the morning to ensure that students don’t succumb to the stress. With this the most happening year, the first year comes to an end. 

The subsequent years bring in additional tasks such as Research projects, voluntary teaching, quizzing, etc.

Which one is the best AIIMS or CMC Vellore for an MBBS?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 21st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma. He considered the following points while making his decision 

  1. Most AIIMS undergraduates settle in the US or pursue higher education in top colleges in India while CMC graduates prefer CMC for their higher education only. 
  2. Students of CMC are required to do bonds in mission hospitals so their higher education gets delayed. But this instills in them a strong sense of community-oriented healthcare. They tend to work in remote places of India without any personal glory. An AIIMS student can hardly be seen doing community service.
  3. AIIMS graduates publish more when compared to CMC graduates.
  4. CMC students get better hands-on experience and hence fare better in terms of clinical and Surgical skills. Right from the second year, they start assisting postgraduates in clinical work. 
  5. If you are a non-Christian, it will be difficult to go through the entire training without a mission hospital

Ultimately, make a choice based on your demographics, preferences, and goals in life.
